Project 2002 Bonneville SE Rebuild Only 54K Miles !!!

Post by SPLLOUDER »

Picked up a peach !

2002 SE Silver with only 54K Miles and light damaged compared to my first copart rebuild 3 years ago .

Picked it up for $1379

This is the cleanest car i have ever seen :booty2: The only damage is in the first pic.

I have already picked this up but have not done anything till the weekend and iam off work .

The seats have no wear and still has a new car smell , No smoke or pet smell at all looks garage kept nothing is too faded on out side or in

Also the previous owner Just had a oil change, brand new wiper blades and 4 like new matching uni-royals tires. :beerchug:

Looks like a nice car for the most part. If those are the original head lights, it was most definitely garage kept.

Yeah but its still just an SE. Even with only 54k miles, its only worth $3800 in mint condition.

The wife is driving an SE atm and it has been a great car. Haro is right about the resale value though but definitely good cars, they just don't have all the bells and whistles. Should turn out good and last quite awhile.

Yes i agree about the resale price, but cant beat this cars low miles and super clean kept car. BTW 1379 after all fees at co part. Pretty sure i found a silver SE bumper cover & fender locally for around $100 at a up pick n pull place. Also i ordered a OEM headlight on the bay for $85 bucks.

Update!

After a few months i got this all done. This was a easy fix and took more of my time for paper work than rebuild time . I had to pull out a little bit of the inner fender well sheet metal and redo the horn bracket but all worked out Great !
